Ati All-In-Wonder 128 will not work with XP, (even with new
This is a discussion about Ati All-In-Wonder 128 will not work with XP, (even with new in the Windows Hardware category; AH! I can't believe this! I just bought a All-in-wonder 128 PCI from my friend because my Voodoo3 had crappy support under Win XP (as of last week). So I go install the new xp drivers. . . and my computer will not boot up in normal mode.
AH! I can't believe this! I just bought a All-in-wonder 128 PCI from my friend because my Voodoo3 had crappy support under Win XP (as of last week).
So I go install the new xp drivers...and my computer will not boot up in normal mode. So I go through and see that WinXP is trying to use theirs. So I uninstall that. Uninstall anything that is related to a video adapter. And it doesn't boot up. So I go through "update driver", still craps out.
When I go to safe mode, XP tells me that it crashed because of "ati2dvaa.dll". So I reinstalled, same problem. I deleted everything that ATI ever put in my computer, by going through and checking dates in the windows folder and system32 folder. Uninstall everything. Reinstall everything. Craps out.
So I finally took the ati2dvaa.hl from the Win2k driver folder, renamed it to ati2vaa.dll, and wrote over the WinXP version. Now it boots up, but in 800X600 mode in 4-bit color as the only option. WinXP recognizes that it is my only card, recognizes as a All-in-Wonder 128 PCI, and is only using the new ATI drivers. So I tried writing over the ati2dvaa.dll with the WinXP ati2dvaa.dll (renamed) version. Same thing.
I've cleaned the registry, all files in the windows directory with ati*.*, updated my BIOS to the newest version, done a clean install numerous times, used powerstrip, and it still won't work.
Can someone tell me what ati2dvaa.dll is? I believe it is the core driver. When I delete it, Windows boots, but in 800X600 in 4 bit color.
System specs:
K6-2 500 mhz
ASUS P5A-B with newest BIOS
ATI All-In-Wonder 128 PCI
Viewsonic E771
Windows XP Professional
Newest drivers for everything.
No IRQ's are causing problems.
Can someone please help?!
